It involves validating the functionality, usability, and performance of an application by following predefined test cases and scenarios. Manual testing is essential for exploratory, usability, and ad-hoc testing, where human intuition and judgment are crucial. While it can be time-consuming, manual testing helps identify issues that automated tests might miss. By performing manual testing, testers can ensure that the application meets the specified requirements and provides a satisfactory user experience.
